No. of Paragraph 32

The family of a California man who died in a horrific crash while his Tesla was in “Autopilot” mode is suing the electric carmaker over claims by the company and CEO Elon Musk that its self-driving technology had been perfected and was ready for the road.

Genesis Giovanni Mendoza Martinez, 31, was crushed to death behind the wheel of the Model S he bought under the — apparently mistaken — belief it could drive itself, according to a lawsuit filed by Mendoza’s parents, Eduardo and Maria, and his brother Caleb, who was also severely injured in the February 18, 2023 wreck.

Tesla, for its part, argues that its cars have “a reasonably safe design as measured by the appropriate test under the applicable state law,” and that the accident “may have been caused in whole or in part” by Giovanni Mendoza’s “own negligent acts and/or omissions.”
